Concreting Procedure
Underwater ( Under Drilling fluid/Bentonite)
Through Tremie pipes
Trimie pipe should always be inside the concrete once
started.

Workout 1
A pile constructed at Judi Bridge on Biratnagar Rangali
Road has following details.
GL Platfarm level = 0 m
Casing length = 3 m below ground level
Cutoff level = 4 m below ground level
Toe of pile is 28.3 m below ground level.
Show these points in a graph sketch.
Up to what level, the concrete needs to be done?
Workout 1 contd
How much concrete is required to fill the bore hole
theoretically?
How much tremie is required to be installed
Draw a theoretical line of depth of concrete surface–
volume of concrete poured (D‐V). Take the weight of
cement 400 kg / m3 of the approved mix.
The depth measured after pouring concrete are as follows:
After 10 bags = 25 m below casing level
After 20 bags = 21 m below casing level
After 30 bags = 16 m below casing level.
Show these points in the graph
